Reply to Michael Mitchell's post:i have to work on that. mine takes longer.
i always try to use several different methods in the first few sessions and see how the students benefit more. Deonstration works better most of the times.
I think this reminds us that with all the knowledge in the world, everyone intakes it and delivers it differently. Everything starts with a game plan that has to be flexible to accomodate our students learning styles. We as teachers have to figure out how to delilver the information in the best possible way. Delivery is key. If the information cannot be delivered so the student can undersand, then we have not succeeeded in teaching that student.
to have an effective lesson planning and to improve my strategies in creating a good lecture
When instructing it is important to alter your methods of teachiing to meet the needs of every learning style of your student audience.
keep in mind attention spans and use differnet methods to convey a message
I think the best way to deliver course content is to do different teaching platforms like video showing, Quizlets, and games to keep the students engaged and make the learning process lively and not boring.
I like the suggestion for varying delivery of the lecture materials.
Go in prepared! write it out in an outline.
Important to keep attention and remember attention spans are less than 20 min!
Be creative. Remember that every student learns differently. Combine styles to help engagment of students.
When delivering course content, be sure to vary your methods and style to accommodate students with different learning types. Additionally, adhere closely to organizational policies as well to ensure the content you deliver is acceptable and in keeping with industry-wide standards.
The part about attention span for lecture being 15 to i8 minutes was extremely valuable. I will plan to have some activities about every 20 minutes to keep the attention span optimized.
It's important to teach to different learning styles
Understanding the different learning styles and ways, will help identify how your students will learn your course.
Learned various delivery options and the importance of variety to keep students engaged, while keeping in mind attention spans of 10-15 mins and ability to handle 5-7 steps in a demo.
I learned about the 3 ways people learn
Practice, practice, and practice!
People have different learning styles. By varying my delivery methods, I can focus on the different learning styles of my students.
